Skywalkers: A Love Story's Director Jeff Zimbalist Interview

Skywalkers: A Love Story might not be related to Star Wars, but viewers will find inspired shots of perilous acts and stunts just as thrilling in Jeff Zimbalist's new documentary. Shot over six years time, Skywalkers follows Russian rooftopers Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, whose relationship is rife with as many ups and downs as their favorite pastime: scaling some of the tallest skyscrapers and buildings in the world. The documentary's premiere at Sundance earlier this year, and now it's in IMAX theaters for a limited one-week run. After it's done in IMAX, the doc will start streaming on Netflix beginning July 19. Collider's Steve Weintraub spoke with the filmmaker after our exclusive IMAX screening in Los Angeles, where Zimbalist shared the challenges of shooting death-defying stunts that could go awry at any time, legal concerns before and after the edit and how the love story of Angela and Ivan became the film's guiding light. #jeffzimbalist #skywalkersalovestory #IMAX For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
